When Regret arrived near Earth on October 20, 2552, he quickly found himself greatly outnumbered by UNSC defenses. Instead of retreating, however, he sped towards the planet in religious fervor, sending forces to destroy the [[orbital defense platform]]s ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'', ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'', and ''[[Cairo Station|Cairo]]'' so he could push through into the heart of Africa aboard his personal flagship, ''[[Solemn Penance]]''.<ref name="twenty"/> Despite the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s actions, his ship made it to the ground and deployed the first full-scale invasion force by the Covenant on Earth.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> | When Regret arrived near Earth on October 20, 2552, he quickly found himself greatly outnumbered by UNSC defenses.

After landing in New Mombasa, Regret's forces searched the city for the Forerunner artifact, supported by [[Scarab]]s and many [[Phantom]] dropships. The humans, however, managed to [[Battle of Mombasa |rout Regret's forces in the city]], and also destroyed the remainder of his fleet, but not before his forces found at least some of the information they had been looking for. As the UNSC forces approached his carrier, Regret's ship initiated a [[slipspace]] jump in the middle of New Mombasa to [[Installation 05]]: from Regret's point of view, his troops had achieved their objective. The force generated by the jump heavily damaged the city. The move was so surprising that only the [[UNSC In Amber Clad|''In Amber Clad'']] and a few other UNSC ships were able to follow the carrier through the slipspace rupture.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis (level)|Metropolis]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 185''</ref> Not long after Regret had left, an [[Truth's fleet|additional fleet]] sent by the Prophet of Truth arrived at Earth and deployed forces in Mombasa to pick up where Regret had left off.<ref name="twenty"/> | After landing in New Mombasa, Regret's forces searched the city for the Forerunner artifact, supported by [[Scarab]]s and many [[Phantom]] dropships.
